We hoped to create one mural that students, staff and community members would all contribute to. Due to the generous supplies you donated it has escalated to so much more. We have prepped 5 panels within our school and finished the staff mural. Staff members have worked since June of 2026 to design, and paint a mural that has a message for our hallway, Kindness matters . The student mural is being worked on as we speak and we can't wait to show you when it's done. \r\n\r\nWe are working on the scheduling for inviting families into our building to have family paint nights for our next few panels. The kids and adults are all excited to collaborate with each other and make the school beautiful again. Our next project is to paint an original design entitled \"grow Kindness\" incorporating our outdoor gardens and the school community as a whole. The kids feel a sense of purpose to paint these panels and be part of this large scale project. Families are excited to also make their marks in our next phase. Thank you for helping our community connect through collaboration and art making.","fullyFundedDate":1778066901091,"projectUrl":"project/community-mural-project/10241249/","projectTitle":"Community Mural Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Verdi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10488784"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21772","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":945,"numTeachers":71,"percentFrplEligible":18,"percentAsian":44,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":21772,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Plainview Old Bethpage Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Plainview Old Bethpage Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/plainview-old-bethpage-ctl-sd/plainview-old-bethpage-mid-school/21772"}
